Before starting a blog having a profitable niche can be a good head start in your blogging career.

Today, I will be talking about the best niche ideas for blogging. It’s a 2020 edition. Yup, all new niches.

What is a niche?

First things first- If you are new to blogging you might not have the exact idea of what exactly a niche is.

So before talking about niche ideas for blogging. Let me tell you what niche is.

Well in simple words, 

A blog niche means a particular topic on which you have knowledge about it and you will write about it in your blog.

Why does it even matter?

You might have this question, first let me ask you a question?

What is a blog?

A blog is a platform where you share your thoughts on specific topic with the world.

In blogging world, you can’t be,

"Jack of all trades and master of none"

Having a specific niche gives your audience- a better idea about who you actually are and your expertise about the knowledge.

And second major reason is, your audience may not be interested in all your topic you want to talk about. So, it will be good to talk about a specific topic than writing about everything.

By having a specific topic, you can build a specific target audience by providing them deep knowledge about the specific knowledge. And you can sell you product or course in future if you want to.

Steps for choosing a perfect niche?

Now you have the idea of what exactly niche is and why does it even matter.

Now, the next step is understanding the core markets.

1. Why core markets?

Simple, because it will lead you to understand the submarkets.

Areas like health and fitness looks like less competitive. But if you look at the bigger picture. Then you will see that there are more areas which are even less competitive.

so without wasting time, here’s how you can choose a best niche idea for blogging.

2. Do you enjoy it?

Beginning a blog is a truly fun cycle. Purchasing domain and hosting, setting up the site, modifying the plan and composing your first article is unquestionably an energizing experience.

Yet, many bloggers give up after several months since they regularly lose interest in it.

Thus, it's significant that you pick a niche where you really enjoy talking about.

3. Do you have enough knowledge about it?

Just having interest in it is not enough. You must be an expert. At least enough knowledge to write the first few articles on it.

So, you can learn and have more knowledge about it, later.

Many beginner bloggers make this rookie mistake. You won’t be interested in writing about a topic which you don’t know.

So, it is necessary to have knowledge in your niche. If you want to stay long in the game.
